That ... was hard.

I ended up voting for:

Coyotemax, because the map is both well crafted and clever, and because I just laughed out loud and had to read some comments to my hubby while I was looking over thumbnails.

Tear, for all of the little details that went into the different styles (I especially like that the city names evolved as they actually do).

And Toff. The colors are fantastic, the insets are really well done. I'm glad you got to finish!

I wish I had more votes. All of the entries were really voteworthy.
